Rangers legend Paul Gascoigne hid two FISH in Scotland striker Ally McCoist’s car when they played together at Rangers – stinking it out for weeks.
Crafty Gazza, who played for Rangers FC in Glasgow between 1995-1998, hid one of the trout under the liftable armrest – an easy one for Coisty to find – but stashed the other under the spare wheel in the boot.
Speaking today on his Behind Closed Doors podcast with Danny Baker, Gary Lineker revealed the practical joke on striker Ally McCoist, who netted 251 goals for The Gers,
He said: “Gazza was a fisherman, he loved his fishing.
“When they were at Rangers together, Gazza went fishing and caught a couple of fish and decided to hide them in Ally McCoist’s car.

“He put one in the middle segment, under the armrest…he was quite clever Gazza because he knew he (McCoist) would find that quickly.
“He was clever enough to put two (fish) in the car, so hid the other one, but he hid it much cleverer.”
He added: “McCoist then comes and goes ‘Oh God it stinks of fish’…he finds the obvious fish and he gets rid of it, but obviously the smell lingers.
“So, I think it was a week or two later…and the smell got worse and worse – classic Gazza that, he’s smart Gazza.”
Danny Baker piped up: “What a pro – an amateur would just put one fish in.”
Gazza played a similar prank on former Rangers striker Gordon Durie – again hiding one fish in an ‘obvious place’ and the other in the boot under the spare wheel.
